The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are pale red-brownish irrorated grey with a few black scales and with about eight small elongate blackish spots along the costa, separated by dots of whitish suffusion. There is a narrow black slightly inwards-oblique suffusedly interrupted antemedian fascia, as well as a fine expansible whitish hairpencil from the base of the dorsum and some black scales at the tornus. The hindwings are grey.
